I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 25 Rain falls, fish make strange noises
Han Yitong's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "That's it."

Her finger pointed at the sentence added after the one in the notes.

"What exactly is the source of infection? Or has it been that, over the years, the source of infection has never been cut off?"

"The predecessor of the Marine Environmental Protection Association was the Forbidden Foreign Affairs Investigation Group. Now the Marine Environmental Protection Association is almost completely destroyed. Could it be revenge?" Han Yitong asked the doubts in his heart.

Mr. Pei Si's face also showed solemnity, because if this was true, then things were definitely not just as they were now.

If the chain of infection has not been broken but has been spreading secretly, then how many people in the entire Hai City have become fish monsters over the years?

She even suspected that the White Dragon King was imprisoned by her so easily, but it was actually just a trap that made her careless.

"Fourth Master, do you think that someone in the Spirit Purification Bureau of Hai City has turned into a fish monster?" Han Yitong no longer trusted the Spirit Purification Bureau and the Police Bureau of Hai City.

Before, she addressed him as "senior", but now she naturally called him "Fourth Master".

She had always felt that the people from the Spirit Purification Bureau and the Police Bureau were too negligent about the affairs of the Marine Environmental Protection Association and had other thoughts in her mind.

Before, she only thought that they were closely related to each other, but now she was wondering if one of the senior executives had turned into a fish monster.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. It is easy for monsters to parasitize ordinary people, but such abilities are often not strong. If they can parasitize a powerful professional, it will be very scary.

"If it turned into a fish monster, how did it hide its appearance?" asked Mr. Pei Si.

"What if it's someone who can change his appearance?" Han Yitong said coldly with narrowed eyes.

She was wearing an old black dress, and she was serious because of years of research, so when her voice turned cold, it suddenly became more serious and full of majesty.

Fourth Master Pei leaned back, folded his hands, glanced at her, and then slowly said, "Jiang Mianxia, ​​the deputy director of the Jingling Bureau, is good at transformation and can imitate various sounds. Her ancestor was Jiang Chong, the leader of the [Forbidden Foreign Affairs Investigation Team]."

"The Fourth Master is amazing. He knows the relationships between all the main figures in Hai City like the back of his hand. My aunt said that if I ever feel unsure about something, I must ask the Fourth Master. And it turned out to be the right thing to do." Han Yitong is just a serious person, not ignorant of the ways of the world.

"During this period, Huang Di is not in Hai City, so the purification of the mysterious leak incident is in the hands of the first deputy director, Jiang Mianxia." The Fourth Master did not respond to Han Yitong's compliment, but a more reserved smile appeared on his face.

"Yes." Han Yitong affirmed.

"Do you know how many abilities Jiang Mianxia has in total?" asked Mr. Pei Si.

"The ability of every person in a leadership position is a secret. Without an absolute reason, I have no way of knowing her ability. Moreover, if I check now, it is likely to alarm her." Han Yitong said seriously.

There is one thing she hasn't mentioned yet, because sometimes the ability files of employees may not be recorded accurately. Some people will deliberately underreport or make false reports, and no one will ask the people who recorded them to show them. This kind of ability file record has become a formality.

Moreover, Mr. Pei Si just said that Jiang Mianxia is good at transformation and can simulate various sounds, which she didn't know before.

She only knew that the opponent's ability was related to water. If she fought her, she couldn't be near water, let alone in it. Then Fourth Master Pei slowly said, "She loves to sing opera. I once heard her sing a piece, and there was a seductive quality to her voice. It wasn't strong, and if you weren't deliberately suspicious, you wouldn't be able to hear it at all. Or you might think her opera tune was just so beautiful. But I'm sure there's a certain 'seductiveness' in her ability."

"It's just that she rarely displays them. Just like her transformation technique, they are also hidden. Her real abilities that are revealed are water confinement, disappearing into the water without a trace, water dragon dance, and water bubble prison. As for whether she has other abilities, I don't know."

When Han Yitong heard about these abilities, she felt that she would be difficult to deal with.

Although it is difficult to categorize the strength of each ability, it all depends on who acquires it, who uses it, and how deeply the other person understands the ability.

"Fourth Master is really amazing. He knows her so well. But, Fourth Master, how did you know that she can transform?" Han Yitong asked doubtfully.

"Because her ancestor Jiang Chong could perform this transformation, with each transformation, a new hair of a different color would grow out of it. Although she could cover it up by dyeing her hair, people leave traces behind, just like wild geese leave their voices behind. You can tell by looking at whether she dyes her hair frequently."

"Her hair is darker than that of ordinary people, which shows that she dyes it frequently. If it is not necessary, why would she dye her hair frequently? It must be to cover up the streaks in her hair." said Mr. Pei.

Han Yitong agreed with Fourth Master Pei's statement and then said, "Now that we know her abilities, we have a way to target her."

Just then, it suddenly started raining outside.

The weather in Haishi is changeable. It rains frequently, and the wind is often damp and foggy. It is normal for it to rain suddenly in Haishi.

But when it started to rain, Han Yitong frowned. She realized that Jiang Mianxia's ability was related to water and could play a greater role in water. It rained that day, and she thought it was too coincidental and became alert.

The rain soon got heavier, from a light plum rain to a drizzle, leaving no chance for people to leave, as if the rain wanted to keep Han Yitong as a guest in this sword hall.

The sky suddenly darkened.

The rain hit the tiles in the house near the training hall, making a sound that drowned out all other sounds.

Fourth Master Pei also came out, looked at the darkening sky, and said, "This rain is abnormal."

"If the Fourth Master thinks it's abnormal, then it must be abnormal." Han Yitong said, reaching out to squeeze the rainwater flowing down from the eaves. After kneading it in the water, she put it to her nose and sniffed it, saying, "This rainwater smells like the sea."

Fourth Master Pei laughed and said, "To be more precise, it smells like fish."

Han Yitong nodded seriously and said, "It seems that I was seen coming to see you, Fourth Master."

"Yes, this matter is not that simple. Listen, what sound is there in the rain?" said Mr. Pei.

Han Yitong just tilted his head, listened for a while, and said, "That's the sound of a fish monster."
